[SOLVED] Wireless interface broken after upgrade

mitia · 2017-10-24 11:52:55

solution: Rebuild broadcom-wl driver, but don't forget to re-download source: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … -wl.tar.gz

https://pp.userapi.com/c639527/v6395274 … 46wVfc.jpg

I could really use some help here.
I use compiled broadcom-wl driver, which won't even load.
> modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.13.5-1-ARCH

"Compiled" how? AUR? DKMS?
Compiled *when*? Before and/or after the upgrade?
What's your running and installed kernel version?

It is compiled from AUR before and after upgrade — same result.
I am very concerned about not functioning blacklisting.
Installed and running operating system is Arch 4.13.5-1.
Forgive my ignorance and thank you for your care.

Please do not post oversized images. Do not post images of text, post text. And even in places where one can post photos, I would expect others would appreciate if the photo was actually of the relevant content of your screen, not some random black backdrop taking up 75% of the image.

As alluded to above, the problem is likely that you didn't rebuild the module for the new kernel. Either rebuild it, or just use the dkms package which will avoid this hassle.

Which AUR package?

Installed and running operating system is Arch 4.13.5-1.

Sure? That's not really "updated".

pacman -Q linux
uname -a

Re-downloading and building from the ground broadcom-wl nailed it.
Even though i was very confused by unresponsive modprobe.

Excuse me, it was a shot of terminal – i do not know a way to copy a text from terminal (there is no gui). I am used to take notes with photos, was not expecting someone be distressed by an image.
Very glad to find help here.
Especially would like to-thank for mentioning dkms.
Hug you all!

Thanks for the hug, but please rather mark the thread as solved by editing your first posts subject - to hint that there's no task left.
